The highest achievement in the CFA show ring is accomplished when a cat successfully earns the title of National Winner (NW). CFA established the title of Grand Champion in 1930 and the title of National Winner first appeared in 1971. In CFA, each year the top 25 cats in Championship, 25 Kittens and 25 cats in Premiership are awarded the NW title.
The Sphynx was first accepted by CFA as a provisional breed in 1970. However, due to some unexplained health issues, the breed was moved back to experimental status.
The Sphynx was finally accepted for Championship competition in 2002. The 2003-04 show season saw the first National Winner for the breed - a black & white male named GC, NW Le L'Amitie Dishabille of Bassetti who was 15th Best Kitten.
To date, the Sphynx have earned a "Best" in 2 different categories - for the 2005-06 show season, GC, BW, NW Majikmoon Will Silver With Age earned Best Cat, and for the 2006-07 show season, GC, NW Enchantdlair Nwa Cornflake Girl earned Best Kitten.
Below is a table with the national winning Sphynx, including their name, color, sex, year of their win, and the award they earned.
